sharp: Windows - Specified module not found: Sharp
Additional information here: https://github.com/lovell/sharp/issues/1387
I have also tried making a brand new project with sharp as the only package. index.js
const testMod = require("sharp");
console.log("Done!");
package.json
{
"dependencies": {
"sharp": "^0.20.8"
}
}
Running gives me this error:
internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:718
return process.dlopen(module, path.toNamespacedPath(filename));
^
Error: The specified module could not be found.

What I have done: I have installed node-gyp, I have installed windows-build-tools 6 times and redid install for vs community twice and installed python 2.7 twice. But nothing works. I have been stuck on this problem for at least a week and I’m am really frustrated.

Great, thanks for confirming.
It looks like there were (temporary) networking problems during a previous installation attempt that corrupted the cache. This situation came up a few days ago in #1382 so I’ll see what can be done to improve error reporting in sharp.
The salient error this time is:
Remove the
C:\Users\Super\AppData\Roaming\npm-cache\_libvipsdirectory and try again.
